A new study shows that a majority of Americans believe that inhaling marijuana smoke is safer than inhaling tobacco smoke. Researchers believe this is largely due to the growing legality of cannabis, and the well-known negative side effects of tobacco.
A new study shows that a majority of Americans believe that inhaling marijuana smoke is safer than inhaling tobacco smoke.
The most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health found nearly 20% of Americans aged 12 or older had used marijuana at least once in the past year, whether by smoking, vaping, or consuming edibles. Among people aged 18–25, more than a third had used marijuana in the past year. To understand the public perception of marijuana smoke, Cohen and her team surveyed more than 5,000 adults living in the United States.
“Cannabis has this increasing presence that normalizes it. People perceive that as, ‘This is something I’m seeing more frequently and it’s now legal for me to use, so it must be safe,” she said.Although cannabis smoke does carry health consequences, differences in how frequently a person is inhaling smoke likely play a big role in how the smoke—whether it’s from cannabis or tobacco—impacts their health.
